Will.i.am’s lineup of iPhone accessories is out, and I wish they weren’t. The six-time Grammy winner unveiled multiple versions of his i.am+ game-changers, and they’re nothing more than gaudy, over-indulgent lens attachments. The cheapest one, which looks like it came out of Toys R Us…

I can hear it now: If my father knew that a Wi-Fi remote-controlled light bulb was available, he’d raise his eyebrow and give me that, “Is this really necessary?” kind of look. I suppose not — it’s easy enough to get up and turn on/off…

Whoa, I like robots and all but, for the most part, they can’t get me a coffee from the kitchen or they’re prohibitively expensive. The robot above might not be able to fetch me food, but it’s awesome in its own right. A company called…

I have fairly long hair, so this tool coming to market makes me exclaim, “Huzzah!” and do my happy dance. I just can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this disgusting mess at the end of my vacuum. If you rock the long locks…

So that obscenely expensive and annoying 30-pin adapter to make all your new iPhone 5 or iPod Touch work with your “old” peripherals comes with a ton of unnecessary packaging if you placed an order online. Check out the cardboard box, the cardboard flap that…
